Arguments Lead to Fatal Stabbings in Two Separate Incidents
In two separate incidents, arguments led to stabbings.
In one case, a man was killed by his friend in Chennai after an argument where the victim had spoken badly about the friend's wife.
In the second case, a bus conductor was stabbed in Thiruvananthapuram by a former colleague because of a work-related dispute.
The Thiruvananthapuram attack was due to a past incident where the attacker was removed from his job because of the victim.
The attackers in both cases used knives in the stabbings.
Police have arrested the suspect in the Chennai case and are investigating the Thiruvananthapuram attack after the attacker is discharged from hospital.
A man in Kolathur was stabbed to death by his friend after an argument.
The victim, Hameed Basha, had insulted the friend's wife in an earlier argument.
In Thiruvananthapuram, a bus conductor was stabbed in the face by an ex-colleague.
The Thiruvananthapuram attack stemmed from a past work dispute where the victim prevented the attacker from driving.
Both incidents involved arguments escalating into violence, resulting in stabbings.
